ATP rankings

For the first time in a quarter century, men's tennis star Roger Federer is out of the ATP rankings; Novak Djokovic slides to No.

Shortly after that loss, Federer had his third operation on his right knee in a span of about 18 months. Djokovic's drop and that of runner-up Nick Kyrgios from No. 40 to No. 45, despite reaching the first Grand Slam final of his career, are a result of the decisions by the WTA and ATP to not award any ranking points for Wimbledon in response to the All England Club's ban on athletes from Russia and Belarus over the war in Ukraine. Daniil Medvedev, who is Russian, stayed atop the men's rankings after not being allowed to compete at Wimbledon. He won last year's U.S. Open and was the runner-up at this year's Australian Open. Federer was 97th before play began at the All England Club but now has zero points because the rankings are based on a player's results over the previous 52 weeks -- and he has not competed at all since reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals a year ago. On Monday, Djokovic, Kyrgios and all other players lost whatever points they earned at Wimbledon in 2021, while not gaining any benefit from how they performed during this fortnight. Federer, who will turn 41 on Aug. 8, intends to make his return to tournament play in his native Switzerland in October and said during an appearance at Centre Court a week ago that he hopes he can play at Wimbledon next year.

The 40-year-old Swiss star intends to make his return in October at a tournament in his home country. He said last week he hoped he could play Wimbledon again.
